Nostalgia & History > crew change in North LaCrosse1965Date: 03/21/19 15:16 crew change in North LaCrosse1965 Author: cabman Soon after moving to LaCrosse, WI in March, 1965, I checked out the railroad scene. I chanced upon the arrival of the Morning Zephyr and the North Coast Ltd. at the Northside depot where crew changes occured (obviously not on the same day, however). These three shots are the result

The N.C. Ltd was always an impressive sight for this 12 yr old kid as it flew through town.

period, the Q did not normally combine the two trains. Later on they did. The dome I'm not sure about, but the other car appears to be the Lewis and Clark Traveler's Rest car which only operated on the NCL on the Q. Just asking.

Thanks for your insight.
